A resounding mound master with pin-point control, Hall of Famer Jim Bunning relied on a live fastball, hard slider and a sweeping sidearm delivery to post a 224-184 career record. In nine seasons with the Detroit Tigers (1955-1963) Bunning collected 118 wins, and led the American League in wins in 1957 when he went 20-8, 2.69 ERA. Traded to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1964, Jim Bunning was 19-8, a low 2.63 ERA, starting 39 games, completing 13 and hurled 5 shutouts in 284 innings, striking out 219, while walking only 46. Baseball Historian Jim Bunning won 20 games once, but caulked up 19 wins four times, including three in a row in his first three years with the Phillies. He was the first major leaguer to gather 100 wins in both the AL and NL, was the first ever to collect 1,000 career strike outs in both leagues and the first National Leaguer to pitch a regular season perfect game, June 21, 1964, since 1880. He also pitched a no-hitter while pitching for the Tigers on July 20, 1958 against the Boston Red Sox.
